In League 2 only Colchester, who are 19th and bottom placed Scunthorpe have scored less goals than Tranmere this season. Tranmere's forwards have just one goal between them from 12 games.
But only Forest Green and Harrogate have more points than Tranmere.

Lesser opposition now? Better opposition in the past? Playing in better teams? Longevity?1 -
I wouldn't say better teams is the reason as the 2 examples you mentioned played under Fergie at United.
Salah has played a similar number of games to van Nistelrooy, just has a slightly better record. Mane has been playing in the PL for a long time. Cantona was only here for a few years, he retired really early.1 -

So he'd have needed 20-25 goals a season and he was never that prolific.
Van Nistelrooy I'm definitely more surprised by, taking a look at the stats he got 150 in 5 years at United (and was out injured for about half of the penultimate season) so a good average but spread it across PL, Champions League etc0 -

As soon as I heard that I wondered who the other 2 were, got Drogba instantly and then spent 15-20 minutes going through all the old teams in my head. I was sure I’d read a while back that Yakubu and Adebayor were both a couple of goals short.
Virtually gave up when I remembered Mo Salah. Doh1 - Sponsored links:

Wasnt sure if he hasnt ever scored using a penalty or whether the website kept the stats simple as they dont go into detail like they do for the other three0 -
Opta say Mane is the 3rd to get to 100 Premier League goals without a penalty after Les Ferdinand and Emile Heskey.
Looks like Opta missed Crouchy0 -

Crouch took the odd penalty didn't he?
Andy Cole didn't take many either but guess he may have had a couple.0 -

The only team to stop Mohamed Salah from scoring this season had a starting 11 who wore shirts from 1-11. He would have been rubbish in an era before squad numbers.
